Old Lefty Posted 7 June 2019 Share Posted 7 June 2019 A new female member at our club needs a L/H rifle as the club has none. Anything considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thorp Posted 14 June 2019 Share Posted 14 June 2019 Hi, l know of a FWB 2602 in a MEC. Mk1 Ali stock. Left Handed with 24mm Dia. barrel. Not sure how it would suit you lady as possibly considered heavy? Despite it’s 20yrs ish age, very light use and well loved. Owned by a mate of mine who really looks after his gear! If you think this might suit, let me know and l’ll have a word to see where he is regards price. (Location Sussex). cheers. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Lefty Posted 15 June 2019 Author Share Posted 15 June 2019 Hi Rob. I think my friend will be interested. Can you get me details of price wanted and any chance of a couple of photos? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thorp Posted 16 June 2019 Share Posted 16 June 2019 Hi Ken, Seems like my mate already has a buyer! If things fall through, you will be first on my list. l’ll keep you posted. Thanks for your response. cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Posted 17 June 2019 Share Posted 17 June 2019 In default of a modern bolt action rifle, may I suggest that she at least consider a BSA Martini International? They will shoot very accurately and offer a short loading port if she is not all that tall - ladies in our club have often preferred the martini action for that reason. There are several left-handed examples on Guntrader at the moment at reasonable prices, and one in particular looks to be in very good order and with handsome walnut, too. The one proviso is that the non-adjustable cheek piece must suit her (though it can be sculpted a bit). The butt can always be shortened and a wooden butt hook can be fashioned by any competent wood worker. The Mark 4 BSAs also have a lighter barrel that might be appropriate, as well as adjustable and, in my opinion,.delightful triggers. Do not, however, buy one without the correct sights as they are very expensive separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thorp Posted 27 June 2019 Share Posted 27 June 2019 Hi Ken, My mates rifle has indeed sold. If l hear of anything else, l’ll PM you. Best of luck in your search. cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
